Scott re: Linkadge
Linkadge: So what are you going to do? R U stopping any anti-psychotic bipolar stuff?
Scott: You thought it might be ok for me going though this high anxiety period, right?
Are either of you anti-AD (I have been since last bout w/ Eff-XR)?
I awakened feeling all sore and swollen this a.m. just after first night of smallest dose Abilify. I have a ring on my finger that will prob' have to be cut off, as 'circulation is being cut off'.
I've been off everything except for a small dose 'trazodone for sleep' (which is an AD unfortunately)! The county has no Rozerem or any sleep med on its formulary, just traz and wouldn't give me Restoril. Then, since had a nervous breakdown a year ago, I've been on Valium.
Anyway, you know how you said, Linkadge, 'it was kind of beautiful', .. Well feeling, just 'feeling feelings' again was/is for me too. But then recently, sad feelings have become overwhelming.
My longest stint (10yrs) w/ the best P I've ever seen was while still working. My husband filed for a divorce because I called the police when he said he was going to break my finger.
It was then that I knew I wasn't going to have enough $ to carry on and found out about the 'county system' and how to get in it. Anyway, this P that had known me for 10yrs 'had a little trouble w/ finding anything bipolar about me', so just mentioned it was a possibility, for the sake of my 'receiving county benefits' (which I now disdain).
I've posted to you because there have been people that I've met that are bipolar and they 'seem anxious to have you join they club'. Forgive me if I offend anyone, but I have met a couple that are like that. One person said I should not be on any ADs.
I just don't seem to have enough symptoms of bipolar. It's never been obvious to me or anyone who has know me for a long period of time. There's no fam hx.
I've become very disliking of 'diagnoses'.
I hope this Abilify gets better faster than it gets worse.
(Who cuts off rings, docs or jewelers?)
Scott: Tks for response last night.
